IMPROVED DISH-STAND.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 89,440, dated April 27, 1869.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL SHERWOOD, of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improved Dish Stand or Mat, as an article of furniture for the table; and 1 do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved stand, and Figs. 2 and 3 are parts in detail.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the drawings.

The object of my invention is to make a cheap, substantial, and ornamental stand or mat, to be used as an article of table-furniture, for holding tea and coffee pots, and other heated vessels or other household articles; and to this end it consists in a novel arrangement and combination of parts formed of wire, and so united together as to form a strong and beantiful article.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will describe the construction of the same.

The stand is constructed of a strong outer ring, A, an inner ring, O, and a series of radial ribs, B B. One end of each rib b is clasped around the ring A, and the other end, 0, is bent over the ring O. This manner of uniting the parts and form given to each part gives to the stand a considerable degree of lightness, while it is also capable of sustaining a heavy weight.

When the parts are formed of common wire, a higher degree of finish may be given to the stand by immersing it ina metallic bath.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- As a new and improved article of manufacture, a wire dish-stand composed of the parts AB O, substantially as described and specified.
